Antique Large Art Nouveau Sash Buckle Antique Jewelry The stones have been testedOutstanding! This old buckle set appears to be from the Art Nouveau era although I'm not absolutely certain of that. The design elements point to early 1900s and appears to have a mix of styles of the era. Soft enamel and lily pad openwork leaves in the center point to Art Nouveau aesthetics. The overall look, however, has more of an Arts and Crafts look. Regardless, it is a very unique set in a striking large size! Collect these and use as is or have
